Ryskan's Group

Ryskan C. is 46 years old, the leader of this group. When she heard of the wonderful opportunity provided by Kiva she has immediately shared this information with her colleagues. The group of like minded people who needed a loan was formed at once to find use for their skills and to work rapidly for their own and others benefit.

Ryskan is a mother of four children with a technician's income of 800 soms. She started her business four years ago with the purchase of one goat. Ryskan together with her husband and their twelve year old son have achieved results of 2500 soms of monthly income and increased the head count of goats by 20 heads. Ryskan has the time, skills and strength to take care of such a large household. She is positive that this is not the limit. She is asking for a loan with this purpose. Ryskan wants to buy more livestock.

Additional Information

This is a Group Loan

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
